Application filed November This invention relates to a rigging for handling logs in the Woods, the general object ot the invention being,` to provide means whereby the logs can he pulled to a position adjacent the wagon or truck and then raised and piaced in the truck hy the one rigging.

rlhis invention also consists in certain other features' ot construction and in the combination and arrangement or" the several parts, to be yhereinafter fully described, illus-- trated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed outl in the appended claim. Y

In describing` my invention in detail, reterence will be had to the acconipzniying;` drawings' wherein like characters denote lilfe or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:-

Figure 1 is a view ot the rigging attached to a tree and to stumps.

Figure 2 is a view taken at right angles to Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a View showing how the pair of pulleys is attached to the tree.

ln carrying out my invention, l provide a jack line 1 which is connected to a tree and a stuinp 3, the jack line being 'formed in three pieces with the center piece connected with the end pieces by the plates 4. Shackles 5 are provide l tor connecting the ends orf the piecesY to the plates. A load line 6 has one end connected by a shackle 7 to the lower plate d, and said line passes over a pulley 8 carried by the other plate el and over a pulle)1 9 which fastened to the tree 2 by the cahle 10 and has its other end fastened to a drum 11 on the support 1:2 oi3 a donkey or other engine 13. A block 1-1 has its sheave 15 engaged by the line G, so that the hloclc is suspended from that part ofthe line between the block 4 and the pulley 8, or grapples 16 are connected by the* short lena; hs ot cables 18 to the bloei; 141; and a hold-bach line `19 passes over a sheave or pulley in block 111 and has one end connected with one ot the tongs 16, This line 19 then passes over pulley 2O Which-is' attached by the cable Q1 to a stump 22 which is located v at one side of the tree and then the rope OF SEATTLE, WASHINGTON.

passes upwardly over a pulley 23 which is fastened to the tree opposite the pulley 9 and the other end of the rope 19 is fastened to a second drum Qeon the support 12. Il" desir/cc the pulley 2() can be attached to the guy rope 25 which is fastened to the stump and the tree.

1nlLn usinig` my improved rigging, the tongs lo to which the line 19 1s connected, are tastened to the log' and then the drum 2li is rotated to Wind the line 19 thereon, While the line 6 is' sfachened. This will pull the log over to tl e road or to point adjacent the wagon or truck. Then the line 19 is slack- ,i d and the other tongs placed in engagement with the log after which the drum 11 is ro* t d to take up the slack of line 6 which will litt the block 1li and thus raise the log so they can he placed on the truck.

lt is thought from the foregoing description that .the advantages and novel features oit my invention will he readily apparent.

l desire it to he understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall Within the scope ot the appended claim.`

What l claim is z* A rigging o1 the class' described, comprising a jack line, supporting means for the saine, a load line connected at one end to the jack line, a lpulley on the jack line over which the load line passes to 'l'orin a loop,` a bloc-li having its sheave receiving; the looped partof the load line, an elevated pulley over which the load line passes, a hold-bach line passing overa pulley in the block, tongs connected with thehold-haclr line, a second` pair ot tongs, a flexible member connecting the Ysecond pair ot tongs with the bloc-lr, a pulley over which the hold-hack linepasses, means for supporting the same to one side of the gael: line supporting, means', an elevated pulley for the hold-back line, winding,

means tor the hold-hack line` and Winding means for the load line.

1n testimony whereof I aiiiX my signature.
